The Future, in the Palm of Your Hand. Again.

Hello, it's the shopkeeper.

Around the time the Famicom had established the new culture of gaming in Japanese homes, another console appeared like a comet, bringing a new shock to us all: the PC Engine.

The company that made this was NEC. For the children of Japan at that time, that name was like a magic word. NEC, who reigned as the "King of Personal Computers" with immense trust, had made a home video game console. That alone was a major, heart-pounding event.

I still remember the excitement I felt at the futuristic form of this little white box when I first saw it. It was a sophisticated design that set it apart from all previous consoles. Above all, the beauty of its graphics and the power of its sound were, in a word, shocking.

This PC Engine must have been treasured by its previous owner. While the console shows some slight yellowing and scuffs from age, I have polished it piece by piece with care, aiming to bring it as close to its original condition as possible. When you hold it in your hands, that old sense of excitement should come rushing back.

This set includes the console, a controller, and a USB power cable. Even with just these, it is more than enough to experience the new world of gaming that the PC Engine opened up.

The "future of gaming" that we dreamed of back then is now in the palm of your hand. Please, awaken those timeless memories once more with this PC Engine.


[A Note on Maintenance from the Shopkeeper]

Each console we deliver is carefully maintained, one by one, so that you can enjoy it for as long as possible, and with peace of mind.

The exterior is cleaned with care to restore as much of its original shine as possible. The internal board and connector pins are also inspected and cleaned to ensure proper operation.

This is not just a used item. It is a special machine, serviced with my own memories and my best wishes for its next owner.

🎮 Add a game — it travels in the same box as your console.

We’re shipping your PC Engine anyway, so any game you add rides along in the same box. This order is already over $100, so shipping is free to most countries. To Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Peru, the first game you add costs nothing extra to ship, and each one after it adds $3. Make it a full evening — browse in-stock PC Engine games & more →

What You Will Actually Pay

Nothing appears later that is not listed here.

  • This listing — from $147.86 to $264.75, depending on the option you choose above.
  • Shipping — free to most countries. Any order of $100 or more that includes a console ships free, and this console is already above that — games you add ride along free too. One exception. Shipping to Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Peru is $49.99 on every order, because shipping to South America costs far more. The exact figure for your address appears at checkout, before you pay.
  • Import duties and taxes. Not included in the price and not collected at checkout — for every country, including the United States. Your country’s customs decides the amount, and the carrier will ask you to pay it before or at delivery. The carrier may also charge its own fee for handling customs. Rules differ by country and can change, so we can’t tell you the exact amount in advance. If a carrier ever presents a charge that looks wrong, send us the paperwork and we will look into it with you.

It leaves Japan within 1–3 business days of your payment, with a tracking number sent to you by email.

If it arrives damaged in transit, does not work, or is not as described, email us within 30 days of delivery with photos of the item and its packaging — it is covered by our 30-day warranty, and we pay the return shipping. If you simply change your mind, you can return it within 30 days of delivery; the return shipping is paid by you. We do not send return labels: we email you our return address and instructions.

If anything is still unclear — the plug, the voltage, how the box really looks in daylight — ask me before you buy, or Browse more PC Engine — Ready-to-Play Bundles →
